Hello Yngvadottir, welcome to the Dutch Wikipedia! Welkomstbericht in het Nederlands Thank you for participating in this community project. We would like to give you the opportunity to be free and productive. Here are a few directions that might help you: A collection of useful links in English can be found on Help:English. Please use our Sandbox (zandbak) for experimenting. Feel free to add your expertise to Wikipedians by interest, and to use our Babel templates (taalsjablonen) on your user page. Wikipedia has been an ongoing project for several years now. There have been discussions on many issues in the past. Please check the discussion pages (overlegpagina's) if you are in doubt about the contents of a given page. If you want to make a careful start editing in Dutch, try to expand some of our stubs (beginnetjes). Take care when editing someone else's work. Registered users can change the name of an article by using "Titel wijzigen". This method of renaming keeps the history (geschiedenis) of a page intact. Questions about Wikipedia or for help can be asked at the Helpdesk. To sign messages, use four tildes: ~~~~ More information (in Dutch) can be found on our conventions page and the wikiquette page.

No red carpet, no wine, and no flowers, as your colleague Drmies requested here, but welcome to the Dutch Wikipedia anyway! With kind regards — Mar(c). ^[O] 2 okt 2014 15:22 (CEST)Alright, a whole stroopwafel from Dqfn13 and me to compensate →  

LOL thank you :-) I'll try hard not to break the wiki :-) Yngvadottir (overleg) 2 okt 2014 17:05 (CEST)

So now you've been given the welcome Drmies kindly asked for: what was the point? Are you studying Dutch? Are you any good at it? Or did you have other reasons for becoming active at our project and asking Drmies for an intriduction? WIKIKLAAS overleg 3 okt 2014 02:18 (CEST)

I can read a large number of languages; as you can see I have a small number of edits here already, almost all making interwikis before the Wikidata era. I was looking at the MS Zeehond articles because Drmies mentioned it as a ship name on his user talk page on en., and noticed one of them had a problem, so I eventually went ahead and fixed it as well as I could, hopefully not too terribly badly.

The thing that worries me the most, is that you'll "try hard not to break the wiki"... I'm glad I didn't welcome you with the suggested wine, that could've been the tiny nudge over the border between behaving and breaking! With kind regards — Mar(c). ^[O] 3 okt 2014 11:05 (CEST)

@Wikiklaas: I don't worry about her language skills; she knows at least three Dutch words: de stroopwafel (anyone in the wiki-universe with 10k+ edits knows that one), de zeehond (as shown above), and de keeshond (proof)! — Mar(c). ^[O] 3 okt 2014 19:25 (CEST)
